Howto fix Firefox Flash Video Sound on Ubuntu Linux Dapper

If after a system update you’ve discovered that streaming Flash is without sound – fear not. Dapper will at times drop the sound from Firefox & Flash, as always you need to search the forums before freaking out as someone has more than likely already experienced the problem and discovered a solution. Trial and error has lead me to the following fix on my system.

sudo aptitude install alsa-oss
sudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc

FIREFOX_DSP=”aoss”

After making these adjustment you’ll need to visit a site that plays Linux videos to see how well things worked out.
